I should note that in the example I just gave, you would be transmitting in the AM commercial broadcast area at 1.342 MHz and wouldn't be a good idea to do so, Right?

Here is something to consider, Take a look at your AM/FM radio. Notice that FM is in Mhz and AM is KHz?

Since the commercial AM band goes below the MHz region, (540 KHz to 1700 Khz) it borders the HF spectrum on the high side and enters the MF spectrum (medium frequency) on the low side. Therefore you could just say 1.7 MHz for 1700 KHz but at 540 KHz now you are within 1/2 of a MHz. So that's why the AM commercial band is in KHz.

So 1.7 Mhz is the same as 1700 Khz
